The 1990 version was excellent and considered a classic so what's the point of doing it again? No one remembers the 1997 remake of The Shining. Same with Carrie, the 1976 version was a classic and no one remembers the 2002 or 2013 versions. People need to stop watching remakes if they want writers to stop making them.
shareThe 1990 version was excellent?? Fuck off! It's a turd!
shareI love the 90s version - it made people I know scared to hang up their washing outside. It has a lot of moments like that. But I don't think remakes are pointless - I just think this particular one was. It didn't have the balance of intimate, personal moments and deep-delving fear moments that the original had, and it felt more like it was paying homage to a Stephen King homage, like Stranger Things - something that borrowed from King's work, but veered off and did its own thing.
